Smart Sustainable Cities: From Vision To Reality
Smart sustainable cities: From Vision to Reality Reyna Ubeda Project officer ITU 27 February 2019
We live in a world of cities, and our planet is increasingly urban. By 2050, more than 70% of the world’s population will live in cities. Cities are the new engines of growth in the global economy, responsible for 80% of global GDP.
Regardless the size, cities are becoming nodes of: INNOVATION PRODUCTION CREATIVITY E.g. Smart Array: Intelligent Street Poles as a Platform for Urban Sensing – City of Chicago E.g. The city of Glasgow, in 1990 the city was associated with street violence and urban decay and it has now transformed into “Scotland’s economic engine room. E.g. The city of Istanbul was designated as a “Design City” by the UNESCO Creative Cities Network.
Cities are the main actors for coping with sustainability challenges such as: Growing population Traffic congestion Scarce resources
What is ITU doing to help cities to address these challenges and become smarter and more sustainable?

Enhancing innovation and participation in smart sustainable cities Smart Governance Dubai Government Electronic shared services Singapore: A Smart City on the horizon Fit-for-purpose land register Smart People The Seoul Open Data Plaza Skill development and entrepreneurship - India Smart Economy Dubai: The first city on the blockchain Airport PPP experience in India Maribor, Slovenia PPP London Green Fund
Overview of Conclusions for Innovation and Participation 1. Enhancements in innovation and participation have far-reaching positive impacts on society, economy and the environment. 2. The diffusion and uptake of ICT-based digital technologies enable tremendous opportunities for changing the way that cities are governed. 3. Public services should be digitally provided in a convenient, easy-to-use manner. 4. Public services should be provided effectively and efficiently by digitizing, streamlining, simplifying and redesigning public sector processes. 5. Public services should target high levels of digital adoption (uptake) by realizing the potential of digital public services while boosting the return on investments for digital transformation. 6. SSC should consider providing shared services / solutions in order to create operational efficiencies through savings in public funds. 7. SSC should provide open data to enable easy and convenient access to city information; and to also encourage innovation and value creation by various constituents of the city, including public and private sectors, as well as academia and NGOs. 8. SSC should formulate and implement policies and initiatives to achieve high levels of inclusive and sustainable economic growth.
Overview of Conclusions for Innovation and Participation (cont.) 9. Policies and regulations supporting innovation and entrepreneurship will be conducive to economic growth. 10. SSC should devise creative and alternative smart financing mechanisms. 11. SSC have an enormous opportunity to engage their citizens during the formulation, design and even implementation of urban projects. 12. SSC solutions ultimately address and meet the needs of people living in a city (as consumers of solutions). 13. SSC should aim to equip its people with the right skills and capabilities to ensure their wellbeing and economic prosperity as city residents. 14. Skills of people in cities are key enablers for smart sustainable cities. 15. SSC should aim sustainable and inclusive city solutions, services, policies and governance while ensuring high levels of stakeholder participation and engagement. 16. Enhancing people’s skill sand ensuring their engagement and participation will contribute to innovation and also expedite societal adjustment to innovation in SSC.

Is your city smart? Is your city sustainable? How can cities measure their progress to achieve SDGs?
Key performance indicators for SSC The U4SSC developed a set of KPIs for SSC: - to establish the criteria to evaluate ICT s contributions in making cities smarter and more sustainable, and - to provide cities with the means for self-assessments in order to achieve the sustainable development goals (SDGs).
